young people and cancer awareness
Hi breast cancer friends :)
My good friend Merylee (Silly Sam) and myself were just on channel 9 news in Melbourne about raising awareness about breast cancer that effects young people.
I am so proud of how they edited the story as we had a message to convey to all young people out there to check there breasts and to take notice of any changes.
I am also so pleased to have met the wonderful Merylee on my journey and on this website! . She has a special place in my heart and even though she has a different breast cancer type than me having her support and laughter makes my journey that extra special.

Hi Di,
Thank you very much. I will definatly look for your details and contact you soon. Unfortunatly, I am currently under going radaition/hercepton and my strength is not very good at the moment (not working in my nml job at the moment) but definatly in the new year i would love to volunteer and help out where ever there is needed to be.Shame the link does not work through this website of our video, :( the channel 9 news did a great job of editing it and getting our message across of early detection in young people. Ive stopped looking at it as i think I look strange without any eye lashes haha!

Hi Melp 27 :) thank you :)

Sure. Couple of ways to contact BCNA (I'm putting this here in case anyone else is reading, just think of it as a community service announcement):
-- just click on my username and you'll see all my contact details in my profile, or
-- if you'd rather do it within the site, scroll down the bottom of any page and you'll see the 'contact us' link in the page footer which takes you to a page with our phone details and a contact form:)

whats the number we call? and do we just ask for Di?
- Di_BCNAMember
LOL! Don't think there's any paying ones right now, but we may have some volunteer work with the online network. Give me a call in the office if you're interested and have some spare time. :)
(the link doesn't work for me, so I'll just have to enjoy through your report)

Hi Jo
I saw you on the news - you both did a great job. Well done! Your message was conveyed really well.
I tried to find it on the Internet so I could add the link here for everyone else to watch, but couldn't find it :(
I also saw Merylee and her husband in yesterday's Melbourne Herald Sun.
Good on you girls, keep spreading the word - it's such an important message to get out there.
Jo I hope your radiation is going ok - you are looking great, hope you are feeling the same.
Hope to catch up with you guys again soon.
